Build Error on install

Hi, I have installed creative cloud on my desktop and laptop.

For reasons unknown, the creative cloud apps on my desktop disappeared.

So I used the creative cloud packager to reinstall them.

It downloads everything, gets to 'building ...' and then at 99%, it fails and says Build Fail - Your build encountered unrecoverable errors.

Tried it several times, same thing.

Any thoughts on why it's not installing (or why it went away in the first place - I only installed it on those two computers and it's still on the laptop)?

Thanks,

Paul

OS 10.9

outdated Creative Cloud Packager

- deleted ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CCP to resolve errors getting updated CCP version to launch

Then same log results as NASADeploymentsETLA for my first two packaging trials (language: English - North American)

- deleted ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater

- cleared disk space (had about 65GB free) 235GB free before packaging

No problems on the third trial - worked like a charm.

I tried all of the mentioned ways to fix: Purge the Cache, tried to use the startup volume (70 GB free) for cache and installation folder, changed the cache folder to a volume with 2 TB free, reinstalled the whole machine with a clear new system ...


What else can I do? I have to create an install package for an agency with about 70 Creative Cloud Users.


Creation of a german installation package worked fine on the same hardware. Creation of the international english version always fails.

Make sure you have sufficient disk space in creative cloud packager cache preferences location.Moreover, delete the AAMUpdater folder and give a try.

WIN: C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater

MAC: user library>application support>adobe>AAPUpdater

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Ashish, can you please specify exactly what means "sufficient disk space". Please give us some typical numbers or examples.

Thomas,

When you have to install application you should have enough spaces.

By enough space it is referred to space required by installer to copy installer first & then to install also.

You can refer to a slightly old document as below:

Installer file size | CC and CS6 apps

Thanks

Mandhir

I am also getting the same error.  I just made one package successfully and now am getting the same error. Any chance a Adobe employee can provide some help?

I think this is all about something that is not a regular Cloud install, so read below

I get a similar error:

I am BUILDING the installer, not running a built installer.  Plus, I am building this on a PC that does not have a previous version of anything Adobe.


What could be causing the error?

Did you run the cleaner to remove all traces before installing again?

-http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html (and uninstall)

-using the cleaner after uninstalling and before reinstalling will usually help

What does installing the software have to do with building a package?
